Biography
Mohammed Bahaiah was one of Osama Bin Laden's inner circle, and since 2002 was labeled by Spain as his courier between Afghanistan and Europe. After Osama's death, he moved on in Al-Qaeda to assist new leaders. "Abu Khaled al-Suri" later became a representative of Ayman al-Zawahiri, during the Syrian Civil War. He was sent to Syria in 2013 to mediate between the Al-Nusra Front and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, two offshoots of Al-Qaeda who were fighting amongst themselves, and was highly-critical of ISIS. Suri became one of the founders of Ahrar ash-Sham, a group that was loyal to Al-Qaeda during the civil war, and he fought against the Syrian Arab Army. On 24 February 2014, Suri was killed in a suicide bombing by two ISIS operatives in Aleppo, slowing down the mediation between ISIS and other rebel groups.
